Commando Bow Leveling
Fallout 76 Just a full build I can use to level using bows and later commando build

This is my current build for leveling as bow up to level 200-300 before switching to a commando build. No idea how good it works.

I will probably later add a fourth tab how I would start early on without special points or minimal ones, just to get a feeling.
